Crosscutting Concepts

Energy and Matter

Knowledge

Students know:
  • Motion can indicate the energy of an object.
  • The observable impact of a moving object interacting with its surroundings reflects how much energy can be transferred between objects and therefore relates to the energy of the moving object.
  • The faster a given object is moving the more observable the impact it can have on another object.
  • The speed of an object is related to the energy of the object.

Skills

Students are able to:
  • Articulate from evidence to explain the observable impact of the speed of an object and the energy of an object.

Understanding

Students understand that:
  • Energy can be transferred in various ways and between objects.

Vocabulary

  • Construct
  • Evidence
  • Energy
  • Explanation
